ACTION: Make Our Elections Secure

In 2016, Russian hackers attempted to break into the election systems of 21 states – and you can bet they’ll try again next time around. Much of our election infrastructure is aging and vulnerable, which is why both the House and the Senate have proposed bipartisan legislation to provide funding for states to upgrade their election security: the PAPER Act in the House, and the Klobuchar-Graham amendment in the Senate. Call your representatives to let them know that election security should be a top priority.

Script for House:“My name is [NAME] and I’m calling from [ZIP] about the security of our elections from cyberattacks. Election infrastructure in many states is aging and in need of expensive upgrades to ensure that everyone’s vote is counted correctly. I would like [Representative] to cosponsor the PAPER Act, to provide guidelines and funding to states who need to upgrade their election systems.”

Script for Senate:“My name is [NAME] and I’m calling from [ZIP] about the security of our elections from cyberattacks. Election infrastructure in many states is aging and in need of expensive upgrades to ensure that everyone’s vote is counted correctly. I would like [Representative] to support the Klobuchar-Graham amendment and make the security of our elections a priority.”
